Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I asked about the review. It seems that somewhere between 25 January and 3 July 2018, the report was completed. When was it completed? Why is it not being published? The Minister of State stood up and told me that the scheme is working. I did not question whether it was still ongoing. I asked about figures and about the review. I ask the Minister of State to please tell me when was it completed and why it is not being published. There are issues regarding the scheme but I do not have time to go into them here. The Minister of State is telling me that the scheme is working. I do not know if it is working. The figures for 2017 and 2018 in Galway city are very low, and only slightly higher in the county. I cannot judge those figures without context. Perhaps many other people might have applied if there were different variables involved. My question is simple. Let us bring some type of integrity back into the English language. When will the review be published? If it is not being published, then the Minister of State should tell us why.
